Kiana James

Summary

Tiffany Stratton and Kiana James had a competitive back-and-forth match that leaned more physical than flashy. Stratton came out fast, trying to catch James off guard with quick offense, but James slowed things down and started using her strength advantage to take control. She punished Stratton around ringside, slamming her into the apron and barricade before bringing the fight back into the ring and keeping pressure on with strikes and a Falcon Arrow that nearly finished things. Stratton eventually rallied with a burst of offense, landing a handspring back elbow and a cutter to shift the momentum. The match got a little chaotic late when ringside distractions created confusion and James accidentally knocked her own ally off the apron. Stratton capitalized immediately, climbing to the top rope and hitting the Prettiest Moonsault Ever to score the pinfall victory in a match where James controlled much of the action but couldn’t recover from one costly mistake.
